The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 15 Triumph
He Miao's army outside the west city was setting up camp, and He Miao was resting comfortably with his eyes closed in the village, when suddenly a lieutenant hurried in.

When He Miao saw someone disturbing her rest, she couldn't help cursing: "What is it that makes you panic, you have no demeanor at all, calm down."

The deputy general took a breath, and replied: "I tell General He that there was a sudden sound of killing in Xingyang City just now. I suspect that there may be internal strife due to the disagreement between Li Mu and Zhao Li."

"What? Internal strife!" He Miao stood up abruptly. If there was internal strife among the enemy troops, it would be the best time to attack the city. He immediately put on his armor and helmet and walked out of the camp gate to check, regardless of rest.

Under the cover of a group of soldiers, He Hemiao walked to a position fifty steps away from Xingyang City, and saw that the soldiers on the city wall had disappeared, and felt that the city was in chaos, and there was indeed a possibility of internal strife.

The lieutenant beside He Miao asked, "General He, should we immediately organize soldiers to attack the city?"

"No hurry, no hurry." He Miao shook his head, and replied, "This is most likely a trick of the enemy to lure the enemy, deliberately pretending to be civil strife in front of us, but in fact, they have already ambushed soldiers and horses inside. , if we attack the city rashly, we may fall into their ambush."

He Miao felt more and more clever, and couldn't help feeling a little complacent.After a while, the gate of the west city opened, and everyone couldn't help being dumbfounded, which meant to invite you into the urn.

"Look at you, I said this is a trick of the enemy to lure the enemy. They saw that we would not attack the city, so they opened the city gate to lure us into the city. We must not fall for the trick."

As soon as He Miao finished speaking, a group of people came out from inside. He Miao and the others couldn't help being dumbfounded when they saw who was coming, because they found that it was not the enemy but the friendly army who came out!

"Hahahaha, General He didn't expect us to meet again so soon. I'm really grateful that I was able to attack Xingyang City so quickly because of General He's assistance." Li Yuan came out and clasped his fists and smiled, as if seeing Like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years.

"Li Yuan?" He Miao wiped his eyes to make sure that he was not mistaken, and then looked at the soldiers beside Li Yuan. They were indeed wearing the clothes of their Luoyang army. Come out?"

"Haha, General He, as I said just now, I was able to capture Xingyang only with your assistance. Without your soldiers and horses holding back half of the bandit army's strength, I would not have been able to break through the city so quickly." Li Yuan said again He repeated the words, as if He Miao couldn't hear him.

"You have already breached Xingyang? Li Yuan, don't lie to me. How could you break through Xingyang in just one hour with your 3000 troops." He Miao looked disbelieving. In his opinion, Li Yuan's 3000 troops were all It may not be possible to capture Xingyang if you pay for it.

Li Yuan smiled slightly and waved to Xu Zhu without explaining. Xu Zhu immediately understood and threw the two heads on the ground. He Miao and others looked down and recognized that it was Zhao Lihe, the leader of the bandit army. Li Mu's head.

He Miao was completely shocked, but still did not give up, and asked the lieutenant beside him, "Lieutenant Huang, go and see, whose head is this?"

Deputy General Huang dismounted from his horse and picked up the heads to inspect them himself. He looked at them again and again, and then said firmly: "Report to General He, these two are indeed the heads of Li Mu and Zhao Li."

"How do you know it must be their head, so it can't be an impostor?!" He Miao felt unwilling. This was supposed to be his fame battle, but he ended it without doing anything. What happened to him? Willingly.

"General He, just now when Zhao Li and Li Mu went up the city wall of the west gate when they were patrolling the city, you also spoke to them in person, so how could you admit your mistake?" Vice-General Huang naturally didn't know what He Miao was thinking, so he honestly said I said what happened just now.

He Miao wished to slap this deputy Huang twice, why are you so incapable of being a human being, why are you so honest.

Li Yuan thought it was extremely funny, so he didn't point it out. He cupped his hands and said, "General He, I don't think it's getting too early. Why don't we enter the city as soon as possible, settle down the soldiers and horses, light a fire and cook, and let the soldiers have a good rest."

He Miao knew that no matter how unwilling he was, he could not change the facts, so he nodded and agreed to let the soldiers and horses advance to the city to rest, thinking that Li Yuan might take all the credit for this time, and felt very upset.

He Miao led troops into the city and saw that there were weapons and armor scattered on the ground, and nearly [-] captives were guarded by soldiers. He really didn't understand how Li Yuan captured Xingyang in just one hour.

"General He, I have already counted just now. This time we attacked Xingyang from the west city gate. A total of 3000 people participated in the battle, 150 were seriously injured, 300 were slightly injured, and there were no deaths. 540 people, the enemy's main generals Zhao Li and Li Mu were killed in battle, 860 people escaped and disappeared, and as many as 600 people surrendered." Li Yuan reported the results of the battle to He Miao. There will definitely be more captives.

He Miao just nodded symbolically. Although he knew that this was a great victory, it had nothing to do with him. He was still sleeping in the camp when Li Yuan was besieging the city, so he was not in the mood to listen to Li Yuan's report.

Li Yuan returned all three thousand soldiers to He Miao that night, because these soldiers were all brought out from Luoyang, and except for the general He Jin, the rest could not be easily transferred, even if he wanted to use the military power for his own use. Reality, so he simply returned the military power to He Miao and asked him to take the soldiers back to Luoyang, while he took Xu Zhu and Wang Wu back that night.

Luoyang is very close to Xingyang, and it can be reached in less than a day by riding a fast horse.

One day later, when Luoyang was in court, all the officials were discussing matters. Suddenly, a guard came in and said that Li Yuan had returned to Luoyang. The result of the battle, this is too fast.

Emperor Ling ordered Li Yuan to come in quickly.

"I have fulfilled my mission, the rebels have successfully suppressed the rebels, and the thieves Li Mu and Zhao Li were killed on the spot!" Li Yuan walked in and saluted. In fact, he was worried that He Miao would tamper with the credit, so he returned to Luoyang as soon as the battle was over. Send good news.

"Tell me quickly." Not only Emperor Ling, but also He Jin, Zhang Rang, Cai Yong and others were all very concerned about this matter.

So Li Yuan fully explained the situation at that time. When it came to using the strategy of luring the enemy out of the city, beheading Li Mu and Zhao Li to attack Xingyang, Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and other battlefield veterans showed a little appreciation. look.

Of course, Li Yuan is a very smart person. Although He Miao didn't do anything on the battlefield, he still gave He Miaoan a credit so as not to cause dissatisfaction with General He Jin.

After listening, Emperor Ling praised: "Li Yuan is worthy of being a good general in my court. Although he is young, he has been able to solve my problems and troubles for a big man. This time he can capture Xingyang should be your first achievement!"

"Your Majesty is right. This time, Li Yuan should be credited for the first time." Zhang Rang accepted Li Yuan's benefits and said a few good words for him, and Li Yuan's performance was quite impressive. He also wanted to take advantage of this to win over Li Yuan. element relationship.

When Cai Yong heard that Li Yuan performed so well, he was naturally very happy. Wang Yun and others also showed gratified expressions on their faces. The opportunity they worked so hard to win for Li Yuan was finally not in vain.

"By the way, where is He Miao? Why didn't he come back?" General He Jin asked without seeing He Miao.

Li Yuan replied: "General, Xingyang has just been established and is not yet stable, so General He Miao led troops to guard Xingyang. I believe he will lead the army back in person soon."

He Jin nodded after listening, and said to Emperor Ling: "Your Majesty, the officials in Xingyang have been killed by the rebels, and now we need to send someone to take over."

"All these things can be arranged by the Rangfu." Emperor Ling simply handed over all the things to Zhang Rang. Zhang Rang was very familiar with it, and he arranged the manpower in a short while. It can be seen that he can make the Emperor Ling call him the Rangfather. certain ability.

"Li Yuan, you have made great achievements in fighting against the rebels this time. I will make you a partial general and reward you with a thousand gold." Lingdi actually likes Li Yuan very much. Greater office.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Yuanxing thanked him.
